I'm going to be needing a brake job done here soon , anyone in the group that can give me a crash course on changing break pads ? Or would y'all recommend just having a shop do it?
Sounds like a lil weekend fun! Should be manageable
You know where to go
Bring it by
THIS POST IS MISLEADING.
lol but brakes are easy! IF you are just doing the pads its about a 45 min job, maybe less. Depends if you have to take off your front tire or not and or calipers.
Awesome! thanks guys , I'll let you know when I have the parts if you wanna check your schedule & let me know what weekend works best for you?
Also 1 more question, for topping off my break fluid; Do I need motorcycle specific break fluid ? Or is all break fluid the same ?
YEs you need specific motorcycle brake fluid. Dot 4 is what is recommended for most bikes. Dot 5 is just a waste.
If only someone had an intimate knowledge of the workings of a red post-gen Ninja 250...

I use DOT 12. It's like three times as good as DOT 4.
Also it should say on the top of your reservoir. But unless you have a leak you shouldn't really need to top it off. Just more brake fluid you're going to have to drain later. Especially since the stuff goes bad over time. A freshly sealed bottle is always ideal.
Dot 12? Right on thanks for the advice guys !
